Mirotic, who the Pelicans traded for on Feb. 1 a year ago, was a key component in their sweep of the Trail Blazers in last year's playoffs, but injuries have hampered his 2018-19 season.

The Bucks gain a very viable stretch-four to play alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo as they continue to make a push for the playoffs and, ultimately, the conference finals in the East. Mirotic is shooting nearly 37 percent from beyond the arc this season, averaging 16.7 points per game in the crowded Pelicans frontcourt.

The Bucks are already second in the NBA in 3-pointers made per game, trailing on the Rockets at 13.3. Mirotic, who has never met a shot he's afraid to take, should only add to that total. He joins a frontcourt that includes a pair of excellent shooting forwards in Brook Lopez and Khris Middleton, so he should fit in just fine.
